NODI TATISHVILI & SOPHO GELOVANI : Waterfall

Georgia’s entry for Eurovision 2013 consists of duo Nodi (the 2009 winner of his country’s ‘Pop Idol’ competition) and Sopho (the 2010 runner-up in the same competition). Both had extensive performance experience prior to the ‘GeoStar’ competition and bring a wealth of talent to the stage for their shot at Eurovision glory.They’re a good looking couple and the song is a dramatic English language ballad that suits them down to the ground vocally. Mix in an explosive key change and you’ve got a track that sounds the goods. It’s amongst the top ten favourites in this year’s competition and ‘Waterfall’ should see Nodi and Sopho sail straight through to the grand final on May 18.
